El Sud Departs.
The Morgan line steamer El Sud is
expected to sail this afternoon for New
York with a cargo of general merchan-
dise. The Morgan line traffic at the
local port has been heavy for the past
two weeks, there having been some-
thing like three or four vessels lying at
the docks either taking on or discharg-
ing cargo every day for the past week.
Indore to Shift.
The steamer Indore of the Elder
Dempster line, which has been taking
on her cargo of wheat at elevator A,
shifts to pier 39 this afternoon, where
she will complete her cargo with a.
quantity of cotton. The Indore is one
of the largest cargo carriers operating
out of the port here and holds a record
of carrying out the largest supply of
cotton ever shipped out of this port.
Steamer Believed Lost.
All hopes for the missing Pinnillos
line steamer Valbanera seem to have
been given up. E. Sevilla & Co., Pinnil-
los line agents here, were kept supplied
with all available information as to the
actions of the vessel until she was re-
ported as officially lost. Press dis-
patches now indicate that the steamer
went to the bottom and probably car-
ried with her some 350 or 400 passen-
gers bound for Cuba and the United
States.
The Valbanera was destined for Gal-
veston, coming here for cotton and
other cargo.
Salisbury at Pier 16,
The schooner Salisbury, which ar-
rived here a short time ago, is now
lying at pier 16, where she is awaiting
her turn to go on the marine ways to
have her bottom scraped and painted
and for other minor repairs. When the
work on the vessel is done she will pro-
ceed to Texas City, where she will take
on a cargo of staves for a French port.
The Texas Transport and Terminal
company will act as operators for the
vessel.
Panuco Arrives. -
The steamer Panuco arrived here
yesterday from Tampico and has al-
ready proceeded to Houston, where she
will discharge her cargo of fuel oil.
The vessel is a tanker operating reg-
ularly between Tampico and Houston.
Lake Calicoon Here.
The steamer Lake Calicoon, consigned
to the United Steamship Company, is
in port here, coming direct from New
Orleans. She will load out a cargo of
general merchandise and foodstuffs for
Porto Rico and other West Indian
ports. The vessel belongs to the Unit-
ed States Shipping Board and has been
operating in Gulf waters for some time.
Notice to Mariners.
The following was received from
the Steamship Florida at sea under
date of Sept. 19, 1919:
“Lat. 29-50, Lon. 88-08. Passed wood-
en vessel burning to water’s edge;
large pieces of wreckage near by. No
sign of life.”

New Orleans Cotton.
By Associated Press.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 22.—Heavy
rains in the Western belt and threat-
ened cold weather after,the moisture
put the price of cotton 19 to 23 points
up around the opening call today.
Heavy selling met the advance, result-
ing from uncertainty over conditions
in the steel industry, and at the end
of the first half hour of trading prices
were one to two points under Satur-
day’s close on most active months.
That the steel walkout ahd not af-
fected a great percentage of men
caused heavy buying. Late in the morn-
ing prices were seventy-two to eighty
points higher than the final quotations
of Saturday.
Private reports of excessive crop
damage in Texas belt following too
much moisture kept the advance go-
ing. In the trading to 1 o’clock the
advance was widened to 123 to 131
points.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT.
Net receipts of cotton at all United
States ports thus far this week were;
23,681 bales; thus far last week, 14,852;
thus far this week last year, 47,412;
thus far this season, 386,637; thus far
last season, 599,637; difference, 213,000.

Earnest Protest Against
Crowing Is Made.
There is a certain Barred Rock roos-
ter who lives in a back yard on Avenue
H who has gotten himself in bad with
all the neighbors and now has the en-
tire police department of the city of
Galveston on his trail. If he continues
to disturb the slumbers of the neigh-
borhood in the future some drastic
action will probably be taken by the
authorities.
Promptly at 4 o’clock each morning
this said bird heralds the approach of
the coming day by crowding lustily.
He not only indulges in the pleasant
pastime for a few minutes, but keeps
it up incessantly. This has been go-
ing on for some time, and finally com-
plaint to W. J. Sedgwick, chief of
police, was made.
Yesterday morning a very tired and
weary-looking man called on the police
chief and said:
“Chief, I am a poor persecuted -work-
ing man. Daily do I labor for good
old_ American dollars with which to
bring home the bacon to my family,
and at night I expect to rest and re-
cuperate in order to be in shape for
the next day’s work. Every morning
at just exactly 4 o’clock I am rudely
awakened by the stentorian tones of
an old Barred Rock rooster who sleeps
directly beneath the window of my
room. This must be stopped. I am des-
perate. The thing has gone too far.
I appeal to you for assistance. Help me
in my pitiable plight.”
Chief Sedgwick said this morning
that he had assured the man tat the
rooster would be taken care of. Just
what method would be adopted by the
chief in quieting this new type of peace
disturber, he would not state. The
matter is in the hands of the police
and will be taken care of.
Several persons have suggested to
the chief that a muzzle should be placed
on the bird after he goes to roost;
others think that he should be gagged
after midnight, and the poor sleepy
citizen thinks that he should get the
axe.

Famo Destroys
Dandruff Bacilli
Science has perfected a wonder-
ful preparation that stops Seborr-
hea (the medical term for dandruff)
by killing the dandruff microbe.
Its name is FAMO and it is a
product of one of the famous
pharmaceutical houses of Detroit
The ingredients have never been
used on the.scalp before but they
are well known to physicians.
As fast as nature grows new hair
the Seborrhea germ kills it off.
Unless you destroy the germ
with FAMO, the new hair will grow
weaker and weaker and baldness
finally will result.
FAMO destroys the dandruff ba-
cilli and makes new, luxuriant hair
grow.
FAMO actually retards grayness.
It contains no alcohol. It stops all
itching of the scalp.
FAMO should be used daily by
every member of the family, even
by those who have no dandruff. It
keeps the hair healthy and beautiful
and prevents seborrhea.
FAMO is sold at all toilet goods
counters, also applied at the better
barber shops. It comes in two
sizes—a small size at 35 cents and
an extra large bottle for $1.
Seborrhea is the medical name for •
morbidly increased flow from the sebaceous
glands of the scalp. The seborrhean excre-X
tion forms in scales or flakes and is com-
manly known as dandruff.

FOR FIRE PREVENTION.
Elimination of Hazards Is of Highest
Importance.
J. J. Ryan, fire chief, has mailed a
number of letters to all ministers, mov-
ing picture theater managers and prin-
cipals of all the Galveston public
schools, requesting them to urge upon
their respective patrons the necessity
of eliminating fire hazards on every
possible occasion, and also to observe
Fire Prevention Day, Thursday, Oc-
tober 9.
This action was taken by the chief
at the request of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters of New York.
Each minister was urged to ask his
congregation from the pulpit to ob-
serve this day, on the preceding Sun-
day, and the principals of all schools
were asked to put the matter before
the minds of the pupils attending
school. The managers of all local
moving picture theaters were urged to
make the announcement on the screen
of their respective establishments. ,
In the communication from the Na-
tional Board of Fire Underwriters re-
ceived by the chief the board sug-
gests that the day be designated as a
“Patriotic Fire Prevention Day,” be-
cause of the widespread condition of
disorder and the definite propaganda of
violence which makes it a matter of
public welfare to employ lessons of con-
servation, safety and consideration of
the rights of others.
